The security issue is caused due to the database files being stored with insecure permissions inside the "db" folder of the web root. This can be exploited to gain knowledge of sensitive information by downloading the files. The security issue is reported in version 1.6. Other versions may also be affected. Note: Depending on the system configuration, the vendor supplied ".htaccess" file may mitigate the vulnerability. SOLUTION: Restrict access to the affected folder.
